What is more, LoE3-366 provides the ultimate in fading protection. It blocks 95% of sun's damaging ultraviolet rays - a leading cause of fading - so your furniture, carpet, curtains and wall covering stay beautiful for years.
During the cold weather, the insulation effect of your windows has a direct impact on how your rooms feel. The better insulated the window glass, the warmer your room will feel. In fact the Efficient Windows Collaborative suggests that when glass surface tempertures falls below 52F, there is a rick of thermal discomfort. To maintain the best comfort during winter, select a glass product that produces surface tempertures that will stay above this point during the coldest outdoor conditions.
A low SHGC is the most important window property in warm climates.
A low U-factor is useful during cold days when heating is needed. A low U-factor is also helping during hot days when it is important to keep the heat out.
